FIELD GUIDE
Over the past five years, Field Guide has quietly built a reputation as one of Canada’s most compelling new songwriters. With a sound that blends folk intimacy, indie production, and timeless pop sensibilities, he’s taken his music from a Winnipeg basement to international stages and festivals.
After his 2019 debut Full Time, Field Guide broke out with the 2020 EP You Were, whose title track found a wide audience thanks to early Spotify support. Subsequent projects showcased his range: collaborations with Toronto indie-darling Georgia Harmer, debut full-length Make Peace With That, and a full reimagining of Coldplay’s Parachutes featuring Lizzy McAlpine, Begonia, and Dizzy.
His 2022 self-titled LP, co-produced with longtime collaborator Kris Ulrich, was recorded during one of Manitoba’s coldest winters on record and later mixed by Daniel James Goodwin (Bonny Light Horseman, Goose), the record led to an 18-city European tour supporting Penny & Sparrow, followed by Field Guide’s first North American headline run with sold-out stops at Mohawk in Austin and The Basement in Nashville. Festival highlights include Winnipeg Folk Festival, Mariposa, Treefort, Mile of Music, SXSW and The Great Escape. He has also spent much time on the road as support for artists including Bahamas, SYML, Wild Rivers, and Leif Vollebekk.
2024’s Rootin for Ya pushed his sound further — solitary late night recording of woozy synths and drum machines paired with completely live-off-the-floor tracks. After completing his sophomore 30 date North American tour in 2024, and an 18 date US tour supporting Austin’s Penny & Sparrow in April 2025, Field Guide is now in the final stages of completing his forthcoming LP— a body of work that he’s never felt more proud of — the record is set to release in 2026.
KRIS ULRICH
Kris Ulrich is entering an exciting new chapter as a producer, songwriter, guitarist, and solo artist whose work has become an important part of Canada’s thriving independent music scene. Based in Winnipeg, he’s collaborated with artists including Field Guide, Boy Golden, Georgia Harmer, Cassidy Mann, Roman Clarke, and Fontine, while also spending years touring as a guitarist with artists such as Dallas Smith and Jess Moskaluke.
When touring came to a halt in 2020, Ulrich found himself rethinking his creative path. Stepping away from life as a full-time sideman allowed him to reconnect with the songwriting and experimentation that first inspired him to make music. The result is his sophomore album, Big in the USA—a deeply personal collection that blends warm analog textures, dreamy synths, driving drum machines, and memorable melodies with thoughtful, honest storytelling.
Recorded largely at home and co-produced with longtime friend Liam Duncan (Boy Golden), the album explores themes of ambition, nostalgia, hometowns, new love, and finding purpose in the creative journey. Balancing introspection with playful self-awareness, Ulrich’s songs are rich with emotion while showcasing the expressive guitar work and production skills that have made him one of the most respected musicians in his community.
With Big in the USA, Kris Ulrich embraces a fresh creative vision while staying true to the passion that first led him to music—making him a compelling new voice in Canadian indie music.
